You are killing me with your skill and that lens !

I showed her your shots and broke the news to her that that lens is top of my wish-list. Then she asked me the price ... and verbally slapped me I tried to calm her by giving her the prices of the Canon/Nikon and new Sony 500s !!

More great bird shots, like Frogfish I crave for this lens but price is the draw back.

C&C welcome.

Thanks mate .... I've seen it, he has some stellar other glass too so won't miss it, but he won't ship outside the USA, even if I had the dosh ATM - which I don't. Have to sell some lenses or close some big deals first ! Also let the wife adjust to the idea that sooner or later I'll be laying down a big wad for a lens (she loves her £200 P&S and can't fathom out why we need more and more lenses - though I'm still trying to figure that one out myself)
